Believe it or not, but EA beat out Bank of America for the honor in the final round of voting. “After more than 250,000 votes, Consumerist readers ultimately decided that the type of greed exhibited by EA, example: the most recent update with Battlefield 3, where you have to pay to have a personal server. Did we mention that was by hour!

So this leads us to ask but two questions:
1. Isn’t EA supposed to be making the world a more fun place to game?
2. When are they going to open their big eyes and figure it out?

Battlefield 3 received a one gigabyte mega update today on PlayStation 3, with the option to rent servers also now available on the console. The patch will arrive “soon” to PC and Xbox 360.

Those interested in renting a server can access that through the conveniently named “RENT A SERVER” menu in the game. Servers can be rented in increments of 1 day ($1.49), 7 days ($6.99), 30 days ($24.99) and 90 days ($64.99). DICE is ramping up this service, so if the option is grayed out, it means rentals are currently at capacity.

“RENT A SERVER” – Really, What the hell is this? I mean come on, where is the do it yourself servers where you can play with just your buddies…They are really making us pay for this, what’s next, Having to Pay for Online Service, ….. Wait, that’s been done, XBOX!!!

Electronic Arts signaling new entry in shooter series to be unveiled early next month during 2012 Game Developers Conference.

Gamers thirsting for more information about the confirmed sequel to 2010’s Medal of Honor reboot don’t have much longer to wait.

It appears Medal of Honor 2 will blow its cover next month.

A “save the date” invitation sent to GameSpot indicates EA will take the wraps off a Medal of Honor sequel on March 6 in San Francisco. That puts the reveal during the 2012 Game Developers Conference, which runs March 5-9 in San Francisco.

Medal of Honor–a reboot of the long-running shooter series–was released in 2010 to a warm critical reception and went on to ship 5 million copies. Last month, a tweet from United Kingdom retailer GAME suggested EA would release the Medal of Honor sequel in 2012.

Game director James Ohlen describes the changes coming to Star Wars: The Old Republic, one of which is guild banks for the thousands of guilds still playing. BioWare is also focusing on PvP, warzones, and convincing people that SWTOR is a good game.
